Bible: Gen. 12:11-13; 20:11

12:11 As he approached 1  Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, “Look, 2  I know that you are a beautiful woman. 3  12:12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, ‘This is his wife.’ Then they will kill me but will keep you alive. 4  12:13 So tell them 5  you are my sister 6  so that it may go well 7  for me because of you and my life will be spared 8  on account of you.”

20:11 Abraham replied, “Because I thought, 1  ‘Surely no one fears God in this place. They will kill me because of 2  my wife.’
